Background and Description
Ooran Thaal is a large man. He stands over six and a half feet tall. He is lean and well muscled. He wears simple clothing, but carries a staggering arsenal. He can usually be found with a greatsword across his back, a shortswords on each hip, and a dagger on each wrist. His maroon hide is marked with the fine tracery of scars that speaks of past battles. He also bears several black tattoos of arcane design that occasionally shift across his skin.
Ooran Thaal was born to the gladiatorial slave pit. He doesn't know where, or even on which planet. By the time he gained his freedom he had been bought and sold many times and moved to new arenas. New opponents, new weapons, new terrain, new dangers, but it was all the same.
He learned quickly how to defend himself, how to fight with two weapons, a large two-handed weapon, sword and shield, or any combination, depending upon what was provided in the arena. He also found ways to see hidden patterns in reality, and learned how to force his will upon those patterns. He learned how to store those patterns within his flesh. He learned, when teams were provided, to defend those who might have useful skill or talent that he may not.
Eventually one of those he defended proposed escape. He was uncertain if that was something he wanted. He was comfortable there. But he realized that he could be more than a simple brute, fighting before the crowds. His compatriot was a technical genius, and the two of them were soon free. Since their escape, Ooran has learned much more about technology and engineering.
Recently Ooran and his co-escapee parted ways. He doesn't know if the arena patrons are still searching for them or not. He hopes that they've given up, but keep own that someday he may wind up back in the gladiator arena.
